In addition, we choose the model of “encouragement retirement with the mandatory retirement age” to apply a practical model in Iran. This practical model includes the effect of gender, tax exemption, and relief. The results show that in general one cant comment about comparing the mentioned minimum bonus for persuading to retirement only based on the gender.

Analyzing the instruction indicates the selected model for persuading to retirement is improper. Additionally, these instructions neglect the effect of the influential factors such as mandatory retirement age, recruitment age and life expectancy non-deductible items of insurance premium and difference between hard and hazardous jobs with ordinary jobs.
